17. Whosoever in this world as a Brahmin or some other provided with a course of life to be followed with the discretion capable of feeling for another's sufferings causes pain to those beings who have only the means of living appointed by God but not the power of feeling for other's sufferings, falls into the hell called Andhakupa for having wronged these. There indeed that person is tormented on all sides in darkness by those beings, beasts, deer, birds, serpents and others and all such as are wronged here; thus deprived of sleep and rest, unable to stand anywhere, he wanders about like the Jiva that has fallen into a detestable body.
